RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 60/955,436 filed Aug. 13, 2007, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates generally to a method of signing-on to information systems. 2. Description of the Related Art When client users access multiple information systems on an organization's web site or network, they are often required to sign-on separately to each of the information systems. Thus, users may be required to remember and manage a separate account name and password to each of the various information systems. Password and account management has always been a concern for organizations that manage large corporate networks. The cost of managing forgotten user accounts and passwords across several applications on an average-sized network can be staggering, and may cause frustration for both users and those who manage the user accounts and passwords. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention is directed to software that enables client users to sign-on a single time per login to a web site in order to access multiple information systems on the web site, such as web applications, file systems, databases, terminal servers, and Citrix Metaframe servers. The method of the present invention provides single sign-on services for web applications, servers, file systems, and databases. Single sign-on services provide background authentication to all services through the method of the present invention. With single sign-on, the users need to authenticate only once in order to access any of the corporate applications and services. In a perfect world there would be one security database that provides access to all corporate applications and servers. However, in the real world, network and information technology professionals have to deal with individual users that are referenced in multiple security databases, with different account names and various passwords. The present invention provides a means for users to store and manage their various account IDs and passwords as part of the single sign-on process to web applications and services that run within the web network system. The present invention simplifies the management of multiple account credentials and provides a means of storing sensitive information within the directory services database. Within the relay, the login page may be requested and altered before the login page is sent to the browser of the client computer. An advantage of the present invention is that it enables single sign-on for web applications, file systems, databases, Citrix Metaframe, Microsoft Terminal Server, and published applications. Another advantage is that authentication credentials are securely stored. Yet another advantage is that attributes may be dynamically substituted to simplify single sign-on management. A further advantage is that single sign-on forms to web applications may be created. An additional advantage is that software does not have to be placed on the client computer for a web-based single sign-on to operate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGThe above-mentioned and other features and advantages of the invention will become more apparent to one with skill in the art upon examination of the following FIGURE and detailed description. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the data flow in one embodiment of the method of the present invention. Continue reading about Method of client-side form authentication...
